and you want to SS for tier procs

#

so you get SC resets

tardy sequoia
#

yeah was curious about what actually changes in colossus vs thane rotation

lusty grotto
#

its just decision making on what comes after SS in priority

tardy sequoia
#

if revenge has more prio than tclap

lusty grotto
#

in general you will be doing revenge a lot more than tc etc

tight mural
#

Is it just me or is the first boss in priory the scariest M+ boss this season

lusty grotto
#

no, momma also slaps

round pendant
#

big momma second imo

mighty flame
lusty grotto
#

nah

#

rixxa has predictable damage output

#

shes not as scary as those other 2

tight mural
round pendant
lusty grotto
#

spell block owns Rixxa

round pendant
#

yeah

#

god I could be so much better if I just learned all the places to use spell block

#

I'm lazy

lusty grotto
#

just use it on every TB or hard hitting boss

tight mural
#

Is there a sheet for it somewhere? I think there is right?

lusty grotto
#

it even works on the initial hit on Momma

#

yes its pinned

mighty flame
#

i have spell block marcoed to shield block, i know its bad but its too many buttons

lusty grotto
#

spell block works with 90% of the TBs

#

yeah thats

#

REALLY bad

round pendant
#

but ig when I do use it (not as much as I should) it's at least very effective

#

rather than sending it on nothing

lusty grotto
#

you get a lot more value

#

hes probably sending with wall which is... a waste

#

cause spell block alone is usually better

#

as long as the Tank buster or attack is spell blockable of course

solid sun
#

On Gally, thinking about the duds that spawn during the portion of the fight where he is in his flying robot and goes to different points along the perimeter of the arena

#

Are they different

lusty grotto
#

no reason why they should be

solid sun
#

It seemed like they were doing way more damage

#

Or maybe the DH wasn’t taunting and I was eating his autos while going on my adventure

lusty grotto
#

possible

#

there's a lot of factors but they should deal the same damage

solid sun
#

We pulled that boss like so many times last night

#

And it was getting so late

humble pumice
#

any tips gathering mobs and keeping threat i tend to use revenge before ignore pain just to get mobs but i feel like imma die

lusty grotto
#

use troar

#

fuck ignore pain

#

make sure your SB is up, thats your active mit, not IP

#

talent crackling

#

and tclap with troar

#

thunderous words buffs rends

humble pumice
#

okay cool ty

inner belfry
tribal wharf
#

i think i know why that dude from yesterday only had 20% sb up time

#

he didnt see much or any green attacks to block.

#

well, at least i got my shield + gun game! the yogi prophecy came true

frosty mango
#

Gatling will do a ton of damage if you have threat and leap off

#

Should be easy enough to sort out

rigid spruce
#

At what point should I trade the middle bottom talent(indomitable?) for battle scared veteran?

tardy sequoia
#

if i have heroic titan of industry, should i switch to myth track barricade of endless empire, even if it's listed as BiS? (ilvl wins?)

lusty grotto
#

ilvl wins

lusty grotto
#

and you trade battering ram for BSV in keys

#

you always go Ravager

rigid spruce
#

At what key level would tumor day that s worth it?

#

14+?

lusty grotto
#

im sorry, what?

#

tumor?

tardy sequoia
#

i think he has a t9 that translates children to tumor

rigid spruce
#

Sorry auto correct lol, at what key level would you say running BSV is worth it?

lusty grotto
#

its not a key level thing

#

its a

lusty grotto
#

"will i need it" thing

#

so its entirely up to you

#

that being said, cinderbrew and priory are good candidates to swap to it

#

cause they have pretty spicy pulls

tardy sequoia
#

you can't upgrade raid gear do i remember correctly? like a heroic titan of industry remains the same right?

lusty grotto
#

correct

round pendant
#

this is the worst post I have ever read

mighty valley
#

as soon as a person deploys the phrase "slap in the face"

#

they're officially too mad to be online

#

and should have their computer taken away til they cool down

round pendant
#

"I'm just not invested enough to get good. I'm always a liability when I play with friends."

#

I don't get what goes on in people's heads when their proposed solution to this is for blizzard to cater to them by making the game easier

#

instead of just.. accepting that you either don't have the time/motivation or that you don't even need to git gud to play with friends

#

or just, yknow, learning to play better

mortal cypress
#

i mean its a fucking computer game lol....just play at a level you enjoy.....people take it way way too seriously

round pendant
#

Exactly

#

If you don't want to put effort into getting good enough for the content you wanna do

#

then YOU need to make a decision

mortal cypress
#

i just play the game at my lvel which is clear HC and a few mythic bosses

round pendant
#

but nah some people just default to telling blizzard they gotta change things

#

Make it easier because I'm entitled to doing all the content with ease clueless

heavy sparrow
#

Any tips for first room for DFC? Drives me nuts

round pendant
#

And if you disagree, you're a gatekeeper

#

toxic casuals are worse for games than elitists imo

#

elitists generally stay in their lane

round pendant
#

My least favourite portion of any dungeon

heavy sparrow
#

I already have a 12 completed for it but dang I could really use work in that hallway for 13 & 14

lusty grotto
#

its not any different in those key levels

round pendant
#

DFC is so lenient how you pull that first hallway isn't gonna brick your key til at least 15 imo

tribal wharf
#

doesnt seem totally unfeasible

#

yes single player

round pendant
#

It's whatever with singleplayer games

#

where you can choose what options to enable or disable

heavy sparrow
#

Some people LoS first pack and 2 first packs after the doorway and into the right, corner after the door, some just pulls to the left near the pillar and once it explodes all hell breaks loose

round pendant
#

I do this

#

it's not the best but it works

tribal wharf
#

imagine if in raids you could select how fast boss fire balls move and leeway time to stop it

round pendant
#

pull 1 get's pulled back into the first area

tribal wharf
#

or you select how frequently the boss will melee or summon adds or use its abilities

round pendant
#

I mean difficulty scaling is fine for challenge modes and whatever

viral otter
tribal wharf
#

if its an entire group of people struggling and the healer cant walk out of fire in time but even then i feel thats like just like, you do nm instead of hc raid

round pendant
#

but taking this guy's suggestion and making the one-button rotation even 80% as good as "sweaty" play literally kills the gameplay for anyone actually trying to play their spec normally if they're not very good at it

#

incentivising them to switch to the one button mode

#

but I knew it wouldn't be long til we started getting suggestions to do that

#

:)

round pendant
#

You can LoS 3 into the boss arena and even pull the boss with em if feeling spicy

viral otter
#

if i yolo it, 100% guarantee 2 is gettign knocked into shit somewhere

round pendant
#

well you can kinda control where they get knocked towards

#

It's annoying tho

heavy sparrow
#

Something like this?

round pendant
#

also, shockwave as the knockback goes out will stop them from flying

viral otter
#

wait really

humble musk
lusty grotto
humble musk
#

Yes, still asking your opinion based on my gear

lusty grotto
#

our opinion is the same

#

since the guide is written by Nome

#

so pick and choose based on that list

#

and based on what you have

humble musk
#

So house of cards correcT?

lusty grotto
#

you dont have myth tome or myth pacemaker

#

and those are higher in the list

round pendant
#

myth pacemaker fucks

humble musk
#

Ah you can buy those on the myth track my bad

lusty grotto
#

yes but only if you've timed all 12s

#

aka if you have resilient 12 keys

humble musk
#

I have resillient 13 💪

lusty grotto
#

youre good then

humble musk
#

Thanks

#

Where is the vendor though?

lusty grotto
#

its the guy you hand your quest to

right in front of the bank

I HAVE BEATEN THE GAME

compact oriole
#

12 motherlode as thane vs 12 mother as col

#

.01mil difference over all

lusty grotto
#

youre not playing colossus correctly

#

revenge should be #1

#

especially in ML

compact oriole
#

interesting

lusty grotto
#

log

#

detail window screenshots dont give us any details

dusky canopy
#

Logdz

lusty grotto
#

your breakdown as colossus on high target pull dungeons should be

#

#1 revenge

#

#2 demolish

#

#3 shield slam

#

#4 rend, #5 troar, #6 devastator/deepwounds, #7 SC (depends heavily on Tier resets, so can move up and down) = ravager

#

tclap should be dead last before melee

#

Colossus does 20% more aoe damage

#

than Thane

#

if youre not meeting that criteria, youre not playing colossus correctly

#

found a log

#

youre using way too many outbursts as TC, when you should be outbursting SS, that means more rage and that means more revenge

dusky canopy
#

Don’t give the your mom break down

lusty grotto
#

TC does terrible damage as colossus

#

its only there to reapply rend and/or if you have low rage and no SS resets

#

237 casts of revenge, vs 400-500 on average on a properly played colossus

#

9.3 CPM on SS, where it should be way higher

#

13-14+

compact oriole
#

so tht log is fuckin old let me see if i can get an updated one for you

lusty grotto
#

the breakdown is pretty much similar to what you posted on that details screenshot

#

so youre very likely making the same mistakes

novel temple
#

Should I always pick a myth weapon from vault?

lusty grotto
#

if you dont have a myth weapon, yes

novel temple
#

Cause I thought about just crafting a weapon/shield

lusty grotto
#

why havent you, those were our first crafts

#

craft shield, pick vault weapon

novel temple
#

I suck

lusty grotto
#

replace crafted shield with myth shield

novel temple
#

And haven't been playing

lusty grotto
#

shield and weapon is always ilvl > all

dusky canopy
#

Craft a helmet you’ll need it!

novel temple
#

but it was vers/mast which makes me sad

#

a helmet?

#

like a specific one or an eng one?

dusky canopy
#

Don’t actually listen to me

#

NiM being helpful

#

I’m being tool

lusty grotto
#

Brew is memeing

lusty grotto
#

i have a priory shield

#

that i replaced my crafted with

#

i didnt give a shit about the secondaries on it

#

and you shouldn't either

#

ilvl all on shield and sword because of block and because of weapon damage going into every single ability you cast

round pendant
#

I only recently crafted a weapon

#

had 665 for ages hoping to get a myth vault weapon

#

never happened

#

😔

lusty grotto
#

no reason to hold on crafts, they give you discounts either way

#

you dont lose a lot

round pendant
#

yeah

lusty grotto
#

if anything

round pendant
#

the main problem was I wasn't planning on tanking as much as I have

#

5man went to shit where I was supposed to be dpsing

lusty grotto
#

yeah i get that

#

limited sparks etc, gotta handle dps specs first or in parallel

solid sun
#

Are we getting sparks at a greater rate now?

lusty grotto
#

no

#

every 2 weeks still alternating with catalyst charges

solid sun
#

Okay so crafting will stay the same pace

lusty grotto
solid sun
#

Just dinnars and bigger upgrades for hero and myth

#

And uncapped crests

buoyant sparrow
#

For a crafted weapon, what embelishment do we use?

lusty grotto
#

none

#

you want the ilvl, not the embelish, and you cant slap dawn/dusk on it

cerulean tusk
#

sadge what if you want to use one tho?

lusty grotto
#

then sim it out 🙂

#

and good luck!

cerulean tusk
#

Rat in a hat so negative and tåxikk lately

#

sadge mods where are you

golden panther
#

whats yalls opinion on fueled by violence vs brutal vitality

cerulean tusk
#

Are we going to argue FbV Vs BV again? Is it that time of Yoda's content cycle?

lusty grotto
#

i guess

golden panther
#

i'm just curious lol i saw shilling and was wondering if it was fake

lusty grotto
jagged pier
#

sense gave us the numbers

lusty grotto
#

yeah thats the link i posted

#

BrV also gains a lot due to the ilvl bump

golden panther
#

oh ty

lusty grotto
#

more stam = bigger IP total

#

more AP (and vers) = bigger IP contribution

cerulean tusk
#

Yes, but - hear me out, HPS meters? Eh? Ehhhh????

lusty grotto
#

FbV is a valid choice on big pull dungeons only if anything

golden panther
#

ye checks out so like brew or sth with massive target counts

lusty grotto
#

FbV is banned from anything else that you cant slap Deep Wounds on a million targets

#

aka ToP

#

aka Workshop

golden panther
#

yeah lol i can 100% see that

lusty grotto
#

it depends on both pull sizes and key level

undone beacon
#

simply… take neither

#

Easy

lusty grotto
#

big pulls + high keys (17+) with lots of damage? FbV might have some value

#

might

golden panther
#

ya prob anything 15 or under now esp with ilvl inflation stuff gonna die too fast

lusty grotto
#

honestly just stick with BrV, i will be sticking to it

#

not that my decision is swayed by Yoda's vids

#

what works for him, works for him

cerulean tusk
#

Nim got swayed by Yoda, smh

#

dead rat

lusty grotto
#

but it doesnt mean ill apply it

#

i havent even watched the video, nor plan to

#

i just read what yall said about it lol

golden panther
#

he said it wasn't even close but looking at the numbers yall posted its definitely not as must take as he was leading audience to believe

lusty grotto
#

its understandable

#

yoda is used to self sustain

#

so its evident he will put a bigger value on raw healing instead of absorbs

cerulean tusk
#

HPS numbers go burrrr

#

Meh, if you play all tanks, many get very confused why warrior isnt trying to minmax their HPS. Not understanding that we simply don't really heal. We just mitigate.

Going from VDH/BDK/Bear to warrior will give you a whiplash on how unimportant the HPS meter became as a metric of performance.

#

I do miss old BDK tho, immortal, minmaxing HPS, doing hundreds of millions of HPS, while a healer would do a 1/100th of that normally.

Was fun gladge

frosty mango
#

looks like cdr brings mud down to ~1m on dailcry

lusty grotto
#

yeah i posted the same last night roid

frosty mango
#

I was ptfo

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

ignore my poop play I was using one hand because im on a work call

#

TBH mud felt alot better than bombsuit there

#

it was a 12 I pugged so damage intake isnt really an issue but the cooldown itself across the entire dungeon was nice

#

you get good use on the third boss as well as braunpyke

solid sun
#

Are you using it in lieu of a defensive

frosty mango
#

in this case no I was using it on the pierce to track the cdr effectiveness

shut summit
#

ye i used mud in 18 and it felt significantly better

frosty mango
#

but if I were using it in a 15-16 I would probably stack it with demo

#

as a cd

shut summit
#

def recommend mud for priory and flood

golden panther
#

ya was just gonna ask what the cd was like on big momma

round pendant
frosty mango
#

I would imagine similar since electrocrush is at a similar cadence to pierce

round pendant
#

I never understood people saying prot's health doesn't move, but now I do

nocturne spindle
#

i blame nome for me not taking myth mud in my vault at some point

frosty mango
#

I mean im not using it regardless until 15-16

#

before that im playing double dps and battering ram and being the best troll I can be

nocturne spindle
#

yea i didnt start using bombsuit or mud til 15s

#

and honestly i feel like its better for the thicc pull gathers more than tank busters

solid sun
#

When did you talent into bsv

frosty mango
#

ele sham in that key ripped 5m overall lol

#

he def carried me

#

lol

frosty mango
nocturne spindle
#

some ret pally in my guild was doing 5m overalls in keys and that was like 2 weeks ago

#

then he disappeared

#

COME BACK MR RET

solid sun
#

If it’s procing doesn’t that mean you would have died?

nocturne spindle
#

its kinda jank

novel temple
nocturne spindle
#

sometimes it procs when youd live

novel temple
#

since more than likely, i wont get any myth items

nocturne spindle
#

but its still basically free defensive

novel temple
#

work schedule is brutal and i haven't been playing as much

frosty mango
nocturne spindle
#

and ive been running it even at lower keys just cause its comfy

frosty mango
#

and a lot of times on gather healers wont be watching and you get slapped them you pop LS or something and live

#

so imo if youre not in a coordinated group it really loses a ton of its value

#

if it were a true cheat death I would have a different opinion

novel temple
#

Also, what talent point do i want to drop to pick up disrupting shout?

lusty grotto
#

as colossus or thane?

#

SoF as colossus

#

instigate as thane

lusty grotto
#

click outburst so it has a green border under damage breakdown

#

and look at the cast numbers

novel temple
#

colossus

#

so drop show

#

ok cool

lusty grotto
#

for both SS and TC since those are the only ones affected by outburst

#

the other attacks dont matter

novel temple
#

cause i figure if i do want to push higher, ill need to carry with disrupting

lusty grotto
#

yea

#

29 casts with outburst

#

of SS

#

28 of TC with outburst = bad as colossus

frigid valley
#

having hard time tracking it u got any good weakaura for it? mine just fucks with my brain

lusty grotto
#

theres quite a few in wago iirc

nocturne spindle
#

since its just a buff you can also just make one yourself

lusty grotto
nocturne spindle
#

and just say show up in the middle of my screen when the buffs up

frigid valley
#

i did make one, but idk if my brain is dented or what but seems it just goes away once im in range to proc it

frosty mango
#

I also had to make a giant text one that says "DON'T THUNDERCLAP YOU FUCKING CLOWN" when outburst is up too

#

in size 72 text

#

that covers my entire screen

lusty grotto
#

lmao

lusty grotto
#

just remember to not use that one or turn it off if you swap to thane

frosty mango
small steeple
frosty mango
#

muscle memory lol

nocturne spindle
#

lmao

#

i ahve the same thing but for my rage

frosty mango
#

as you can see from that log I just posted it only works if im focused

#

if I'm half paying attention I still send clap

@lusty grotto better?

#

logs

compact oriole
#

i thought i logged tht one but it didnt show up on the in game app

nocturne spindle
#

nice backshots

#

(its pretty good but def one thing to improve

frigid valley
#

from behind i assume?

nocturne spindle
#

yea

#

this is the real number

frigid valley
#

was a fairly rushed key so yeah deffo see that happened alot

nocturne spindle
#

moarrrr spell blocks

tight mural
#

You didn't die so maybe you didn't need them, but I feel like I always have at least a couple health options used

nocturne spindle
#

you only spell reflected bubbles once

#

do it moarrrrr

sleek prawn
#

hi all, which trinket better in slot Tome of light's devotion or improvised seaforium pacemaerk same ilvl ? they a both s tier, can't decide.

tight mural
#

Is only 19 shield blocks right? That feels low? Same with only 6 casts of shield charge

nocturne spindle
#

assuming your other trinket is a defensive one

#

for m+ pacemaker

#

he had 90% uptime

#

and it gets extended from shield charge and stuffs

#

ive never looked at casts just %

tight mural
#

Ahhhh interesting

sleek prawn
tight mural
#

So if you cast once, and just keep it up for 5 min, if only counts it as one cast

nocturne spindle
#

he runs heavy repercussions

#

no

#

he just has the talent to make it last longer

tight mural
#

Rog rog

frigid valley
#

yeah i dont trust myself with itf

#

tried a key and was horrible

nocturne spindle
#

you have enough haste for it

#

just keep trying

#

its objectively better

frigid valley
#

yeah but not enough IQ

nocturne spindle
#

youll get there

#

sub 10 casts per min on shield slam is low

#

your probaly sitting on it when its on CD

#

moarrr shield slams

cerulean tusk

If you run HR, I dont judge, I too use it when I just want a comfy braindead yapyap run with no need to minmax

#

Question about Bloodsurge vs Instigate. I'm seeing some folks take instigate now. Does anyone know the proc rate % of Bloodsurge? Is there a big diff between the two in terms of rage and dam or is this just a preference choice?

nocturne spindle
#

i dunno the math

#

instigate is better at like 8+ mobs

#

sorry

#

other way

#

bloodsurge is better at 8+

lusty grotto
#

no reason to go bloodsurge

nocturne spindle
#

but with bosses its better to go instigate

cerulean tusk
#

Nimchip, you must reason your answer

frigid valley
#

so less TC, more slam, spellreflect/spellblock more. and dont get tapped in the ass detective
cool ty

lusty grotto
#

in a key atm

frigid valley
#

i shall return with new logs in a few days

nocturne spindle
#

i think you actually spell reflected a decent amount

cerulean tusk
#

Nim throwing his key, smh. Tåxikk rat strikes again.

Do so Harley, and with great improvements catman

nocturne spindle
#

its just specifically on bubbles you didnt

#

you need to learn what spells are actually reflectable

lusty grotto
#

im doing a rat key, silly cat

nocturne spindle
#

for the free damage ignore/reflect damage

frosty mango
#

And then some saint put it in a weakaura

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

Look man if the man put all that time into it

#

It’s disrespectful to not use it

#

If he’s gonna think for me I’m gonna let him dammit

real thunder
#

Thanks for the reasoning @nocturne spindle . So for dungeons with painful bosses like big momma and motherlode instigate is better....makes sense

oblique lagoon
#

New to WoW/Warrior, should I get House of cards heroic track if I'm doing M+ and not mythic raids for a while?

nocturne spindle
#

if your not gonna get to 12+ in all keys yea

frosty mango
thick dust
#

hey, got alt pwar, planning on monday to get most of raid done on mythic, i have alla 12s done. What would u buy for your first dinar? Mythic track book? Other ring not missing its in craft order

#

i dont plan to push keys at all, this is raid alt only

lusty grotto
#

did you read the guide

thick dust
#

um i did and i know i can sim it too

viral otter
#

why is your item level 626

thick dust
#

i wanted more to know your opinion here

little ermine
#

Missing a ring

thick dust
lusty grotto
#

our opinion doesnt differ from the guide

#

so going through the list, what would be your options?

#

pop quiz

thick dust
#

so i dont see reason to buy myself shield thats only 3illv upgrade atm since i have crafted

#

house of cards may be accesible after money for me

lusty grotto
#

???

#

did you buy a carry

thick dust
#

ofc no ?

#

this is just my alt

lusty grotto
#

so can you get myth titan?

thick dust
#

as i said i may, we doing alt raid on monday but idk if im gonna kill all the way to gally

lusty grotto
#

do you have a myth gally kill on that toon

thick dust
#

my Q is, if i get access to titan - does it make IN MY GEAR case atm reason to buy it even tho its only +3ilvl upgrade over for example book (which i atm have only on HC track)

lusty grotto
#

are you able to get that gally kill at any moment

#

shields are ilvl > all

thick dust
#

possibly ye, i believe alts will get to kill gally

lusty grotto
#

3 ilvls is a lot of block

thick dust
#

ok

lusty grotto
#

but

#

you can get a myth shield anywhere

#

including rik

thick dust
#

ye

#

thats true

lusty grotto
#

so whats next down the list

thick dust
#

house of cards

lusty grotto
#

and you have a 1AB kill on that toon?

thick dust
#

on monday

#

OAB dies 100 %

lusty grotto
#

sounds to me that

#

you need to wait until monday for most of your options

thick dust
#

well i guess i also should just sim

lusty grotto
#

because thats pretty much the top 3

#

why

thick dust
#

why? Cos each char is different right

#

and has different gear set up

lusty grotto
#

the items in that list are by far the best

thick dust
#

so if for one person house of cards may be biggerst upgrade it may not be biggest upgrade to me

lusty grotto
#

you dont need to sim

#

thats wrong

#

mastery = AP, it'll sim high regardless

dusky canopy
#

Auto pilot?

#

Thought that was banned

lusty grotto
#

HoC will outsim anything you have equipped, and for pretty much all of us, if its Myth level

#

Kezan is the only thing that it might not, depending on fight length

#

it doesnt matter what stat breakdown you have

#

the only way HoC doesnt sim as high is if you somehow decided to just gear mastery

#

which im sure you have not

#

and even then it sims high as fuck

not to mention its limited, everyone wants it

i mean theres no point in buy titan if u have access to it

there are only 3 specs that do the most with it

lusty grotto
#

yeah i agree

jagged pier

pala holy and prot and warrior

#

thats it

#

reason why its on the list is cuz its kinda rare

thick dust
#

i see

strong forum

as in to fucking drop

#

not cuz its contested

thick dust
jagged pier
#

just be in a team where its you or a resto shaman

lusty grotto
#

go for it 😉

#

just trying to save you a sim

thick dust
#

i mean we first have to kill mug and then gally while me palying pwar in mythic raid for first time

#

that reminds me

#

anyone here has CD plan for gally ego check

#

and also for OAB do u just use wall for every tank slam?

lusty grotto
#

did you take a look at the pinned sheet

#

it tells you exactly what to use

thick dust
#

ok, so if OAB tank buster is blockable with "just" shield block there is no reason for me to use shield wall?

#

this is quite new for me since on BDK u have to hard plan CD

#

especially for ego checks for example

sharp gale
#

My first Gallywix kill will drop 3 titan of industry 100%, I bet all my money on that

sharp gale
lusty grotto
#

just have block up

#

you can also take it without wall (if you dont have previous debuff)

thick dust
lusty grotto
#

not like youll save wall for anything else

sharp gale
#

Yeah it is just a side fact, I don’t see how you would not have a cd on every ego check, or just scream at your disc at if you don’t

compact oriole
#

so i got the in game app of logs going says its live logging but once i get done with a run or hit stop nothing shows up lol

thick dust
lusty grotto
#

not on raid

#

unless youre playing a weird non-raid build

thick dust
#

well im not gonna play massacre

#

especially since its my first time

sharp gale
#

I don’t play massacre

lusty grotto
#

even with punish

#

you can have 100% effective uptime easily, just not general uptime

thick dust
#

punish is with juggernout choice node tho

#

iirc

lusty grotto
#

i.e. dont spam SB when youre not actively tanking

#

at least save 1 charge

sharp gale
#

I spam SB, i need to check sprocket kill this week to see the uptime (i do drop it I think)

thick dust
thick dust
#

sorry i ment when im actively tanking

lusty grotto
#

oh yeah then you should be covered like you said

thick dust
sharp gale
#

(Yes this week I had to be def stance because aggro issues)

thick dust
#

isnt that IP uptime somehow high?

sharp gale
#

Idc about ip uptime, so I wouldn’t know what is a good number

#

If you want the log

nope, extremely good rage management 🤝

heurt de bouclier... so beautiful...

frosty mango
#

Doesn’t that mean like

#

Buckler crash

#

I think it’s funny French has a bunch of words for shield because they differentiate between the different types and in America we’re just like “oh yes all of those things are shields”

#

Magical barrier? Shield

#

Buckler? Also a shield

#

Police badge shaped item? You guessed it, shield

sharp gale
#

Heurt de bouclier in my mind is literally Slam of Shield

#

If you translate really rough word to word

frosty mango
#

I think heurt does not mean slam

round pendant

i have no

Is thunderlord worth to farm low level dungeons?

lusty grotto

as colossus no

not even worth for mid level keys

Would mountain thane be better to farm 7-10s etc 😄

Colossus hits hard = finish farm keys faster

lusty grotto

colossus does a lot more damage so no

thane is fine

you just wont carry dps

hazy lake
#

Yeah I do around 3m dps as collo, prot is my offspec so havent really looked into it too much or experimented

lusty grotto

no need

colossus does around 20% more aoe damage

thats it

Good to know

sharp gale
#

heurt doesn't fully mean slam and slam doesn't fully mean heurt

frosty mango
#

That’s what I meant about English

#

We don’t have nuance

#

We just use the same word for all kinds of shit

sharp gale
#

yes just imagine it's the same with every language

frosty mango
#

I speak a few and English is by far the worst offender lol

sharp gale
#

just context change a lot of the meanings in some language

#

(that's why if you search a translation to a word there are 20 other words beside the first answer)

#

to try to teach you what it kinda mean

#

J'aime mean i love and i like, so it is hard to grasp what it fully mean until you are french in your mind

guys i am thinking of buying heroic jastor diamond with my first dinar

#

am i stupid

lusty grotto
#

yes

lilac widget
#

i do not raid mythic, and i dont have 12s yet but i will at some point in next 2 weeks

#

well that was quick 😄

#

okok

fathom magnet
#

what are the best Dinar pieces when you are only doing m+ (all 12s done though). Do you still go for hero Jastor or do you pick up a myth track trinket from m+?

lilac widget
#

im guessing the trinkets

lusty grotto
#

hero jastor is a nono

lilac widget
#

cause i just asked the same question

nocturne spindle
#

heroic jaster isnt even that good for us

lilac widget
#

yeah was 20k increase for me

lilac widget
#

i can fury offspec with it tho

lusty grotto
#

except all myth and crafted rings will outsim it

#

so if it was a 20k increase for you, myth rings and/or crafted ring will be more

lilac widget
#

f it im just gonna, speed up on my 12s and get tome

patent scroll
#

Sim it against a max upgrade crafted ring, as you can have two

lilac widget
#

and pace maker

lusty grotto
#

i did the sims earlier this week

lilac widget
#

and then i dont know for the third

lusty grotto
#

its literally

sterile orbit
#

bombsuit

lusty grotto
#

negative dps on anything BUT 5+ min encounters

#

where its only up by a whole 8k dps

#

that means you need to actually be on combat for more than 5 mins for that 0.4% dps increase

#

you drop the 10 stack, its back to negative dps

#

you drop combat, its back to negative dps

#

your reclear kills bosses in less than 5 mins, its back to negative dps

#

do not spend a dinar on hero jaster

#

period

shut summit
lusty grotto
#

LOL

lilac widget
#

i got bombsuit

#

i got everything really, hc wise

lusty grotto
#

i got that reference

lilac widget
#

dont have kezan

#

but egh

#

simbait

lusty grotto
#

kezan isnt simbait

#

if you consider kezan simbait, so is jastor

#

its literally the same concept

lilac widget
#

it sims higher for me but my dps is noticably lower when using it

#

on hunter anyway

#

i got this this week, so im guessing the shield aint a top prio anymore 🙂

lusty grotto
#

the shield is only considered if myth only

#

if youre at that point, you basically have everything else anyway

#

cause youve killed gally

#

Myth Gallly

chilly brook
#

(I'm also gambling on the fact that I don't see Blizzard not offering a way for people to take their heroic dinar items and upgrade them and also did it mostly cuz I play DPS in raid)

round pendant
#

they're not gonna do that

chilly brook
#

too many peeps complaining

#

Them adding a system that allows you to input a heroic dinar piece to convert into the myth one if you've killed that boss hurts nothing

#

crafted ring also 20k loss

chilly brook
#

even on 2m sim

lusty grotto
#

i simmed these on tuesday

#

so my ilvl is obviously a lot higher

#

5min fight, selected has myth cauldron + crafted

lusty grotto
#

why would you even sim 2 mins

#

you dont have a 4 full cd rotations at 2mins

#

you do at 3

#

45s cds remember

chilly brook
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

lusty grotto
#

1.5 + 1.5

#

45 + 45 + 45 + 45 = 1.5 + 1.5 = 3 mins

chilly brook
#

just did 2m to prove a point

lusty grotto
#

and 8 targets too?

chilly brook
#

I only tank keys

lusty grotto
#

griff

chilly brook
#

so

lusty grotto
#

we're soft capped

chilly brook
#

8 targets 2m is pretty decent for replicating pulls

lusty grotto
#

no its not

#

because we're not a 2 min class

#

and we're softcapped at 5

chilly brook
#

it's not going to make a massive difference if I drop it to 5

lusty grotto
#

even 5 mins is bad, the only reason we dont protest them is because wow audit requires them

chilly brook
#

And most pulls are more than 5

by 0.2%

chilly brook
#

a gain is a gain?

lusty grotto
#

you do you

chilly brook
#

I'm not suggesting everyone does it

#

The only thing I'm contesting is the idea that the ring isn't worth it on anything under a 5m encounter

#

and that a crafted ring is better

lusty grotto
#

compared to the other options, it is

#

a crafted rign isnt worth a dinar

chilly brook
#

A crafted ring is also over 1% worse in single target

solid sun
#

Isn’t the opportunity cost M HoC, M tome, M pacemaker, and M Shield (depending on what you have and can get)?

marble fable
#

wait, is starter build selection not the play?

chilly brook
lusty grotto
#

thats an important factor

#

you dont need the rest of the stuff

#

most people that ask here, do

chilly brook
#

hence why I'm not arguing that people follow what I did

lusty grotto
#

there was just one guy that asked about hero jastor that i specifically said he should go for it

#

because he had everything else

solid sun
#

I guess this means I could buy an H Jastor

urban portal
#

Should never pick up a m shield through dinar

solid sun
#

Since I don’t have access to any M raid items and already have both dungeon trinkets on myth track

urban portal
#

Can get a m shield too easily

lusty grotto
#

i agree

#

Nome said earlier that he only put it there cause its rare, not because of anything else in particular

#

and honestly if youve cleared mythic, its very likely you wont need anything else really

#

well depending on RNGesus keks

solid sun
#

Or if you’re even reclearing bosses

lusty grotto
#

well youre probably still hitting 2 vault slots

#

err 1

#

you dont wanna save lockouts for anything under 1ab

#

since you can just... drive there

#

except for vexie none of the bosses lock the path to the others

solid sun
#

I heard 1ab is still pretty hard, so my assumption is that raid groups that kill 1ab are saving their lockout until they complete the raid

lusty grotto
#

yes

#

that goes with what im saying

solid sun
#

Does that mean because of how mythic works, the whole group is locked out?

#

Or just whoever is the leader of the raid

lusty grotto
#

yes

jagged pebble
lusty grotto
#

yes you can

jagged pebble
#

how so

lusty grotto
#

just drive there, gotta clear extra trash, thats it

#

you go around stix's area

chilly brook
#

if only boss kills were account wide

#

I already killed OAB on my evoker

solid sun
#

P sure you don’t even have to kill Vexie to get to sprocket

chilly brook
#

but can't get anything on my silly warrior

jagged pebble
#

hm

#

then i wonder why my guild always saved the lockout

#

but were not rekilling anyways so whatever

lusty grotto
#

they probably didnt pay attention to the race

#

but yeah youre not losing anything if youre not reclearing

solid sun
#

If we get dinnars every season I kinda feel like that’s the best way to raid mythic

#

No reclears

jagged pebble
#

depends on how hard the fights are i guess

#

but i think they thought we would be stuck on stix for another eternity

#

lol

#

if im using hc track pacemaker and myth track tome what are my best dinar items? any suggestion?

solid sun
#

Are 665 weapon and shield hero tracks?

jagged pebble
#

yeah

#

thinking about crafting a 1h sword

#

no crest atm tho

solid sun
#

So your biggest upgrades would be M track shield and M Track weapon and then probably M HoC followed by M Jastor

#

Assuming you finished m gally

#

Did I do good, @lusty grotto

lusty grotto
#

no

#

shield isnt "the biggest upgrade"

#

its just there for vanity

solid sun
#

Hero shield to myth shield is the most important upgrade there yes?

lusty grotto
#

since crafted and then myth shields are better

#

yes, but at that point you already have crafted or myth

solid sun
#

They have neither and have no crafts available currently

lusty grotto
#

then they should craft

#

they should have crafted shield months ago

solid sun
#

Could craft a shield next and use a dinnar on something else but I still think my order of upgrades is correct

lusty grotto
#

who are you talking about

solid sun
#

The person above my response. Sebastian

lusty grotto
#

didnt he say he was on sprocket? he doesnt even have access to to myth Gally loot anyway

solid sun
#

Idk what he’s on. I said “assuming you finished m gally”

lusty grotto
#

he should insta craft shield and 1h like we all did

jagged pebble

ye got none of these cuz i just switched to tank

How does someone do 400k dps with current gear

I literally have to lift my hands off the keyboard or rip

nocturne spindle
#

i think i tested it

#

and i literally doo like 400k dps with just auto attacks

#

granted like half that dps is tome

#

but literally auto attacking

people are bad

like really bad

only 300k with nothing but autos

We literally had a dude in here yesterday that is the person you are talking about, lol

mighty valley

they were hitting a sweet 800k

frosty mango

No way it was like 450k lol

#

I refuse to tank heroic pugs anymore because it’s infuriating trying to tank with people doing half your dps

#

Give us shirk

#

Or give us death

mighty valley
frosty mango
#

Ok well that’s still half my dps :/

mighty valley
#

yeah, merely doubling only auto attacks is not that impressive haha

frosty mango
#

You’re right though, I concede

#

I did a pug oab Sunday and they asked me to tank and I even asked before swapping if threat was gonna be an issue and the dh said “nah fam I’m a pumper”

#

He was indeed NOT a pumper

Want to see the best DH pumper

I’m all for chilling out to adjust for a gear disparity but if I need to move away from the boss for multiple globals to accommodate you I just can’t with that lol

I was checking yodas talents in his highest keys done, and hes playing FbV > Brutal Vitality is this a new cook and something ive not heard of?

mighty valley
#

it maybe has applications in very high keys where you can still pull very large

#

overall brv is still better in most (maybe all?) cases and the difference is not worth stressing over

lusty grotto
#

brv is still better

#

tl;dr

light nova
#

thx

shut summit
#

funnily enough i think FbV is even worse; looking at logs its only healing for 85% of deep wounds damage?

lusty grotto
#

didnt it used to have a fucky relationship with leech? i think Nome mentioned something like that once

shut summit
#

the tooltip in game shows 110% so leech shouldnt matter

lusty grotto
#

yeah

shut summit
#

when u click it on logs it shows 85% as the spell

lusty grotto
#

oh

lusty grotto
#

lmao weird

#

funny enough wowhead has 0 tooltips with 110%

#

on the changelog

patent scroll
#

So it's the usual?

#

Someone went bar big = good

#

Then made a video

shut summit
#

theres a diff spell id with 110%

lusty grotto
#

sense i think thats just a wowhead problem maybe? he did 366.68M dmg with deep wounds

#

ok that makes sense

#

well

knotty pewter
#

i noticed this a long time ago. if you look at individual tics in the logs they still heal for 110%

#

if you look at overall it will show much lower

lusty grotto
#

oh

knotty pewter
#

never looked into why

lusty grotto
#

so 366.68m (damage) / 317.46m (overall heal) = 0.86

#

let me see the ticks like you mentioned

shut summit
#

right

lusty grotto
#

yeah i have those two same tabs

#

haha

knotty pewter
#

i thought the in game tooltip was wrong back at the start of the season. I was running FbV just for 1st boss priory

#

until i saw that

shut summit
#

reported it either way, they can figure it out

lusty grotto
#

cant math, its friday

#

i was just staring at those 2 tabs trying to figure it out

#

end of the week brain rot lol

#

for me

knotty pewter
#

i live with that every day

lusty grotto
frosty mango
#

Should be easy enough to check

#

With details

#

It’s a percentage and I think details shows raw healing right?

lusty grotto
#

its more like

#

there could be something fucky in how WCL is aggregating hits

shut summit
#
lusty grotto
#

because xn + yn + zn = n (x + y + z) so basically ticks at 110% should yield a total amount of healing at 110% as well

shut summit
#

the top 1 is whats shown in talent tree, the bottom 1 is whats actually shown in logs

lusty grotto
#

yeah but if combat data is reporting the wrong one, its def not on their end

#

maybe that's the problem

#

idk im fried clueless

shut summit
shut summit
#

maybe brain cooked too, but can someone test if demolish is adding to your ip amount with BrV? from what i see it might not be, which would kinda nuke brv value

I feel like Im spamming to keep up Ignore Pain to absorb her hits

shut summit
#

yea so both brv and fbv aren't behaving properly ICANT

#

classic, ty

timid nacelle
#

So where does that leave us? Which is better?

mighty valley
#

I think still BrV? Just not as good as it should be

#

I doubt any key has ever been decided by one vs the other though

shut summit
#

definitely won't be a massive difference between the 2

jagged pebble
#

so is buying the hc version of gallys shield worth if im progging mythic with my guild? i had to swap from arms and i only have 1 spark left to craft a weapon or shield

patent scroll
#

Shouldn't this technically leave us at the point where you now need to test everything so that they actually work with BV?

knotty pewter
#

i think playing with an oracle disc can influence the decision a bit. i think its more common this season to find yourself loaded up on absorbs but missing health.

steady pollen
#

Oh, Rixxa's autos are Magic...

#

That gives me extra CDs then

lusty grotto
jagged pebble
#

and what about the weapon?

lusty grotto
#

craft it as well

shut summit
#

priory 18
brutal vitality: 266mil
brutal vitality (with demolish working): 346mil

fueled by violence (110%): 317mil
fueled by violence (85%): 245mil

jagged pebble
#

hard with 1 spark

lusty grotto
#

then craft the shield and then craft weapon next spark if youre unlucky

shut summit
#

demolish not interacting with brv is pretty big deal

knotty pewter
#

in hind sight im kinda glad it doesnt work because I suck and somewhat frequently was sending demolish with no IP up anyway.

steady pollen
#

Holy crap... its reflectable..

knotty pewter
#

i looked at that yoda log a little closer and i think sometimes some of the FbV batched heals (when it combines a bunch of tics from DW) werent being calculated at 110%.
I only looked at 2 batched heals. 1 seemed accurate the other was very low.
i dont know who you reported it to @shut summit but maybe tell them to check that aspect out

sinful copper
#

Fbv def doesn't work correctly. It said it heals for 110% DW but I had like 250m of DW damage and only 117m of heals from it. Or am I misunderstanding?

shut summit
#

is your overhealing hidden

lusty grotto
sinful copper
#

No, it would show overhealing too I think. I'm away from PC or I'd look again

lusty grotto
#

scroll up

#

im in raid atm so cant help

#

Omg is that the real sense from nurfed?

#

Big fan

shut summit
knotty pewter
sinful copper
#

Sense do u think more prot warriors will enter top 100 tanks?

lusty grotto
#

also the spell id is wrong

#

sense linked the 2 versions

sinful copper
#

And also, if I want to tank 17-18 keys, should I race change NE to save 1-2 min for skips?

shut summit
#

NE is very valuable yes

jagged pebble
#

25 bucks for that aint worth

sinful copper
#

K time to race change! Do u ever use it to negate mechanics while tanking (taunt after) or only for skips?

#

Eh I mean I paid $90 or whatever for a closer AH

jagged pebble
#

💀

shut summit
#

you can use it on swampface hit, last boss flood, etc

#

cancels and doesnt recast

sinful copper
#

Wow. Is there a video guide available or a list that says what to use it on? That is amazing

shut summit
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sinful copper
#

So far on 15s, those tank busters are pretty easy to manage so I'm not sweating it. Very cool that u can use it like that though.

chilly brook
#

here's my assumption

#

Since arms and prot share a lot of things it's probably utilizing the Arms spell ID

shut summit
#

yep was thinkin same thing

lusty grotto
#

does anyone have the raid leader discord crab damage script

#

for stix?

#

if theres such a thing

patent scroll
#

🤔 damage before they are freed?

lusty grotto
#

yea

patent scroll
#

I can tell you how to create one

lusty grotto
#

oh no worries

#

not really a big deal

patent scroll
#

I mean, it's not hard, and actually kinda useful

#

Queries > tick Damage > go down a bit > swap pin type to filter > slightly above you have "or" & "and" select "and" > tick Buffs and Debuffs > tick Only match if aura present, make sure it's on target > go down to abilities > write Territorial and select the one buff it should find > press create pin

#

Now if you go to damage done tab, it should show damage done only to targets that have the buff up, and in this case it drops as soon as crabs are free

lusty grotto
#

ok ill try it out

#

oh wait thats for wcl isnt it? i know how to do that, i meant a details one

wicked pollen
#

target.name="Territorial Bombshell" and resources.hpPercent > 80
in expression in wcl
